day 0 - after game announcement

[royalizing]

[ After everyone (and Natalia) is done freaking out, she'll pull Anise aside into her room and close the door behind them. Once it does, she'll pace the small room. ]

I can hardly believe this is happening...

[ Not that she knows exactly what she'd been expecting but not this..... ]

2/2

[royalizing]

[ Now that she's gotten that off her chest... ]

Now, your turn, Anise. Were you also assigned with a 'buddy'?

[ionicwoman]

You better be careful, Natalia... Whoever this guy is, you might not be able to trust him.

Yeah. I got one, too... [She's pretty worried about it, to be honest, though she doesn't want to admit it]

[royalizing]

I don't see why he would risk his own life. [ Or maybe that's just naivete speaking... ]

Oh? Who is it?

[ionicwoman]

What if he's a VIP? They might have some tricks to get past that system. [Or you might have to babysit him to make sure you stay alive]

No one I can't handle~ ♥ Who's yours?

[royalizing]

[ She frowns slightly. ]

Someone by the name of 'Takashi Morinozuka'. [ Wow that was a mouthful... Then she folds her arms indignantly. ] Do you not trust me with the name of yours?

1/2

[ionicwoman]

[That is a mouthful...] He must be one of the quiet guys...

You can't blame me for being a little nervous, can you? Natalia's so scary so she'd be an even scarier mafia! ♪

[ionicwoman]

It's that weird math guy... Royce Bracket. I know he's not anyone shady, so it's just a matter of keeping him out of trouble.

[royalizing]

Anise! [ DEFINITELY OFFENDED.. ] Even if I were, which I most certainly am not, I would never collaborate in something so devious!

[ionicwoman]

[Wow, Natalia, she was only teasing!]

Ooohhh, you're so scary!

[royalizing]

I'm scary? Who was the one yelling about killing people earlier?

[ionicwoman]

You felt the same way as me! And my temper is nothing compared to the royal princess~ ♪

1/2

[royalizing]

That's hardly the point! [ Then what is... ]

[royalizing]

So we each have a buddy... [ She's not sure if this is better or worse than before. ]

[ionicwoman]

[U MAD, NATALIA]

[But it's serious time]

That means it's extra dangerous for both of us. We need to be careful.

[royalizing]

[ um yes ]

Yes... We must watch out for each other, so that we may both return home safely.

[ionicwoman]

Now I have three people to babysit....

Do you know what he's like?

[royalizing]

[ harrumph she heard that ]

No, not yet. I didn't speak with him today, but I plan to. What about yours?

[ionicwoman]

[She loves you, Natalia!!]

He's a real weirdo~ ♪ But he's not stupid. I think we'll be fine.

[royalizing]

[ No flatterer is going to charm her!! ]

My, you two must get along just fine then. I'm glad to hear that.

[ionicwoman]

He's pretty bad at being subtle, so I'm pretty sure he's not a VIP. [She's not about to say she trusts him, but she doesn't consider him a threat. She's still got her eye on him, though]

By the way, did you notice anyone suspicious?

[royalizing]

Suspicious? [ She thinks back to all the people she's talked to today. ]

There was a girl, Ibuki, who was more occupied with going on rides than investigating, but she said she's been in this situation before. Other than that, I'm afraid nothing comes to mind. Why, did you?

[ionicwoman]

Oh... Ibuki's a little weird. Apparently there's a whole group of them that have been forced into something like this before.

[It's worth keeping an eye on, though. She pauses to think...] That reporter girl seems a little shady.

[royalizing]

I haven't spoken to anyone like that. What did she say?
